Jazbaa could have been a taut, speedy and what-will-happen-next thriller but fizzed out with useless melodrama
9 October 2015 | by (India) – See all my reviews

It is heartening and encouraging to see that Bollywood is churning out so many women centric films over the recent years - Kahaani, English Vinglish, Queen, Mardaani and now Jazbaa which marks the comeback of the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after a gap of six years. Jazbaa had solid plot and well-executed scenes but messy screenplay and wafer thin direction spoils the mood.

The film tells the story of a strong independent lawyer Anuradha Verma (played by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) and the struggle she goes through after her daughter is kidnapped and she has to race against time to reunite with her daughter.

From the director of Kaante, Musafir and Shootout At Wadala, Sanjay Gupta brings you the stylish hardcore-action film which is interesting to watch but is saddened by loose screenplay and left you wanting for more. The movie begins with a bang depicting the events that changes Anuradha's life from an independent lawyer to a struggling mother trying best to keep her daughter alive against all odds. Plus the introduction of Irrfan Khan as cop is welcomed with punching dialogues and humour. However, it is the 2nd half which goes haywire and you feel the impact is missing. Based on the Korean thriller Seven Days, Gupta tries hard but falls flat on face with his direction as he puts into too much of melodrama and emotions that might difficult to digest. The screenplay is average. Background score by Amar Mohile is repetitive and irritating. Action scenes are superb and stylish with Cinematography is eye- catching.Dialogues are punching

Coming to the performances, Aishwarya Rai misses the mark here. She was over-the-top with her expressions and could not convince much with dialogues and acting. Maybe we have to wait for another film from her for a good comeback. Irrfan Khan as usual is dependable with brilliant acting. Shabana Azmi surprises you with her small yet outstanding performance.

Overall, Jazbaa could have been a taut, speedy and what-will-happen- next thriller but fizzed out with useless melodrama. Below average 1.5/5
